2 February 2016 - RPS Partnership
RPS is one of the leading providers of Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) courses in the UK. We uniquely have both male and female UK qualified trainers who are experienced at recently working in hostile, challenging and remote environments. All trainers hold a minimum of level 3 in Education and Training (UK recognised training qualfication).
We are offering a 3 day HEAT course for travel to difficult, remote or challenging locations. Our course is more compact over the 3 days and has been designed to fit in with your busy schedules, whilst still retaining all the important topics needed to keep your staff safe when travelling and working in difficult and remote areas. We have also included a disengagement skills module that will teach you safe simple techniques on how to release yourself from an unwanted hold or possible attacker.
Our course is designed for Production companies making films in difficult places, news journalists, NGO and humanitarian workers and executive travellers. We can show you how to travel safely. We will cover everything from what to do in a Tunisia style shooting or a Paris style terrorist attack to what to do in demonstrations or how to stay healthy in a natural disaster area. From Cambodia, Chad and Central African Republic to Thailand, Turkmenistan and Turkey.
